For the record... Du (like Mountain DEW) bip (rhymes with flip) RI told them, 'bip, but they wouldn't listen.
Cei-U! Has to admit "Dubipper" has a nice ring to it!
For the record... Du (like Mountain DEW) bip (rhymes with flip) RFlipper Dubipper. Wouldn't you like to be D'Bipper too? Props to whoever made the Dr. Pepper joke in the podcast

foxley's near-misses, part 2After listening to the podcast and looking back over the entries, I decided to add a fewmore to my list. Omaha the Cat Dancer. In retrospect, I really wished I'd checked with Kurt is this qualified. But I'd forgotten the character debuted in Vootie and by the time I remembered I was already well into posting my list. I thought of her about Day 3 into the countdown and I PM'd Kurt but never got a reply. I wasn't sure if fanzines would count

Took advantage of Last Gasp's 55% off sale to buy a chunk of books. Worked out to less than $6 each. Killer score!

I'm posting this one at an angle as it's a bit risque...Penthouse had its own response to Playboy's Little Annie Fanny with Wicked Wanda. In the mid 70s, there was one collected Trade Paperback that's quite difficult to get in higher grades almost 50 years later. My dealer got 2 copies which arrived for the New Year....in solid VF. It has a solid black back cover which gets scratched very easily. Also included a couple samples of the artwork that I didn't have to edit...but it's generally more ribald than Annie.
It's Oh, Wicked Wanda! It's a shame that this isn't collected, the same with Sweet Chastity. Ron Embleton's artwork is stunning. I have a Fine+ copy of this I got a secondhand store years ago. Most of Embleton's artwork is hard to find, at least here in the States. It took a long time to find his Wulf of Briton hardcover and a lot of his historical books are hard to find. A few years back I bought an Embleton page of art; sadly not his Penthouse stuff (still on the hunt), its a gorgeous page, one of his Princess magazine pages from the 60s.

I use google docs and just pull out my phone when I need my want list. Every once in a while, I print out a hard copy to carry around. I still see guys walking around with spiral notebooks While I don't have a notebook anymore, I do carry a small Moleskine-like pocket sized notebook for my small list of books I'm searching for. I prefer it over the phone so I don't have to glance over my glasses to look at a screen compared to my chicken scratch.

I don't think you're meant to dislike Maggie. She just struggles with self-confidence, especially in the early part of Love and Rockets when things don't work out as she'd hoped with Rand Race. One of her defining traits is that she's always falling for the wrong people, and then when she meets someone compatible she grows restless and leaves for no good reason. She can't fully commit to Hopey, either. That's a large part of why long-time readers were thrilled by the most recent issue of Love and Rockets (Nov 2023.) It's worth remembering that these stories have been going on for 40 years now. If you've read the series from the beginning to the most recent issue that's a lot of water under the bridge. It also covers a lot of phases in Maggie's life. Issue 14 from last year put a huge smile on my face and made me misty-eyed.

My main goal was to go for Non Big-2 books and showcase small press books. I knew books like Uncle Scrooge would be on people's list, and rightfully so. They're wonderful books. Of the Big 2, I did have more DC than Marvel books as alternatives just in case.
Two of my last minute small press books that were dropped were: 1. Mister Natural- I thought long and hard about adding him on my list as he popped up all over Zap before his 3 issue mini in 1973. 2. Omaha the Cat Dancer- This one I wasn't too sure since the rules set had a odd variable. Omaha first appeared in Vootie, a fan magazine before Reed created the monthly. It's not listed on comics.org but it's in Vogel's Underground Price Guide and there's 2 issues in CGC. I wasn't too sure if something like a fanzine would count.
Other Non Big-2: 1. The Ghostly Trio- They appeared on my list last year. Casper & The Ghostly Trio would've been a potential choice
Marvel and DC books I considered 1. Superboy- I love the 90s Kesel/Grummett run so much. 2. Steel- Like Superboy a great spin-off from the Death of Superman 3. Human Target- Appeared in Adventure Comics; the Vertigo series is nothing short of wonderful 4. Harley Quinn- A ton of Batman Animated comic appearances before her big break. 5. Silver Surfer- I knew this would be on people's lists. 6. Black Panther- Like Silver Surfer, knew this would show up 7. Flex Mentallo- Love the Morrison mini; was a mainstay in his run on Doom Patrol.
